Today was a big day in America with a total Eclipse running on a narrow band between Maine and coastal Mexico. 

It attracted thousands of people who traveled to be in its path, contributed to local businesses which was offset by loss of wages and production from those who wanted to see this “one in a lifetime event”. 

I didn’t not. I had a Leak related to our water filtration system under the kitchen sink that I had to fix, and besides, Park City was only in the 40% coverage of the sun by our own moon. Too bad. 

I console myself by thinking we’ll have several other total solar eclipses between now and Aug. 12, 2045, which will be the next one visible across most of the contiguous United States if I’m still around! 

For the moment, I missed today’s experience and still couldn’t fix the damned leak!
